Yes, with your love of cherry picking, if you exclude the financial “lobbying” Uber has done, understood as bribery and largely illegal in every country beside the U.S., then no bribery occurred!

If anything, all this thread had demonstrated is an extreme need on your behalf to defend your belief in a tooth-fairy version of Capitalism, and scream “COMMUNIST” and plug your ears whenever confronted with reality of mommy and daddy startup putting money under politician’s pillows to win their place in the world.

Do you genuinely believe this?

Do I genuinely believe that startups funneling millions of dollars to politicians in campaign donations, speaking fees, and giving them plush gigs when they leave office is a legalized form of bribery? Yes. Is most of this illegal in other developed democracies? Yes.

I feel like after the whole SBF fiasco this should all be quite obvious…
